Everyone’s skin is constructed with the same elitist approach—it has a barrier function that acts like a sort of gate in, say, a gated community. Essentially, the skin’s barrier exists to keep the undesirables (like environmental aggressors and free radicals) out and the invited guests (like antioxidants and hydrating nutrients) in. When your skin gets painfully dry, this means that your barrier function needs some TLC. Think of this super rich cream—made with solanum, linden blossom, and shea butter—like extra reinforcements. It stimulates and strengthens the barrier function, while soothing and softening damaged skin. 1.6 oz
